Black-haired kid who thinks forte is a stupid word because why would anybody want their area of proficience to be named after a musical term? Likes to think she's random, but most days it's all just one big joke.
Thinks adults who think that teens aren't capable of understanding things are the incapable ones themselves
Likes to wish for stem cell research whenever she hears the word "Bush"

Jim and Pam get stuck and get busy.I don't leave very many reviews, mainly because I'm not so articulate and can very rarely think of much to say - but I LOVE THIS PIECE. I have been reading it during odd moments for about a month now. It's dark and intense and playful and teasing and it's so complex beyond the obligatory smut. I love it.
That image of "Oh god, Jim, please" and the pushing of the shoulders? That image has been playing in my head for weeks. It's brilliant.
My final exultation: The ending. Not enough words in the world, I'm thinking, to match the amazingness that is the ending. I have yet to find a smut fic I love as much as this one. Write more! I say.
=D!

Jim and Pam's first interaction after Casino Night was a lovely long, long talk. However, there were a few things Pam should have made a point of telling him.
Oh, goodness. I really like this. All five of them. So gorgeous in their simplicity, and beautifully in character. I love these dialogue-only stories as long as they stay in character and as long as the author in question can write snappy dialogue - this is probably my favorite so far. =D!

Not for the faint-heartened - extremely dark Jim. Having read a self-help book on "moving on and getting on with your life" Jim Halpert starts a journal to get over Pam.
This story. I feel like it was a good idea, and it could have been done well. And to a certain extent, it has been done well. But I think it's also a bit of overkill in terms of the Jim POV. Jim's not THAT much of an angry guy, and also I think the middle paragraph bit with the chain and the sex scenario is...a bit much.
I don't know, maybe it's just my personal view of Jam and how it should be, but every time I read this I think "overkill" and...yeah. I'll be more articulate later in the day...
Also, I think it'd be interesting if you tried to write something other than Really!Angry!Jim, maybe Weary!Jim or something a little less angry as this. Anger is easy to write; I think it'd be interesting to see you stretch your boundaries a little and write some emotion other than anger.
Hmmm...this is difficult to respond to because I'm not sure where you're coming from. I went to read your other reviews to see if this was standard for you and was unhappy to see that this was your only review. My story must have really disappointed you for you to go to the trouble of writing such a lengthy review.
I agree that I think it is overkill and a bit much. When I asked my guy friends what they thought when they saw a pretty girl who broke their heart playing with a gold necklace, I thought their answers were overkill and a bit much. So it's realistic as far as I could make it.
I found it offensive that you said "Anger is easy to write I think it'd be interesting to see you stretch your boundaries a little and write some emotion other than anger." Wow. So wrong. So dismissive. So smug. First, anger is not easy for me to write. For you, maybe, yes. I don't know. Second, "stretch my boundaries a little"? That's why I'm writing this story in the first place. To stretch my boundaries. . Third, "write some emotion other than anger." Ummm...so you haven't read any of my other stories, have you?
My advice: you're articulate. Keep using that to write your own stuff. But I highly recommend you not write any more reviews. This is a website where people give their writing for free to people like you...and you are insulting someone who gave you a gift.
I am unfortunate in that I didn't read your stuff before this so I can't comment on your works. I think I will have to wait a few weeks before doing so, since I would feel judgmental rather than read it as someone looking for entertainment. However, if you would like me to analyze your work in a manner similar to your "I'm a Creative Writing Professor giving you pointers and grading your work", let me know.
Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. moxieeeee
if we have to wait another 11-12 days for the next chapter
i am going to EXPLODE.
brilliant as usual

The first thing she noticed was that he’d started rolling up his sleeves again.
Set a few weeks post-Cocktails ... I'm spoiler-free, however, so it's just speculation!
Bahhh. I've read this like five times now, bookmarked it and spend study hall looking for things like it. @.@...it's amazing. Definitely among my top favorite Five Things fic.
And you are completely right - JKras DOES have nice wrist bones. Also: The end is beautiful, and my personal favorite two are the staring one and the sleeves one...
Simply amazing. =]
Jim gets fussy and Pam gets fed up.
Spoilers through The Negotiation.
So I'm reviewing, because I think after writing something like that, you deserve many, many smiles. Marvelous. Fantastic work here.
And...I love the thought of the addendum. And the staccato keystrokes. Really, just everything about this is fantastic.
Great work! Look forward to more from you soon!
Pam and Jim decide to get it out of their system...Literally. This idea just wouldn't get out of head, especially after all the fight fics, I figure there has to be another way to get rid of the sexual tension- why not actual 'casual' sex. Oh and it's going to really backfire. P.S. This is way fluffier than my usual stuff AND almost finished too. So there's that.
Oh, goodness. This will be marvelous, I'm sure. Reminds me a lot of the current Cameron/Chase storyline on House...looking forward to seeing how this goes. =D...
Author's Response: I love House, except I'm a season behind on well everything, thanks for the vote of confidence.
Crossover between the Saw movies and The Office. The Jigsaw killer kidnaps Jim and puts him to a horrific test. Like all games with this deranged killer, however, there are cruel twists waiting at every juncture. Updated CH4 -- Everyone is in a tough spot-- How does it all end?
Uh...can't say that I'm too terribly fond of a story that involves one of them dying like that. This is....different. What I'd like to see is if you could find a way to let all of them live. That would certainly be interesting.
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I just added CH2, and put a small spoiler (inspired by your post) on the TWOP board.
Oh, goodness. Okay. Okay. Breathing under control now.
I'm so invested in this story that it's not even funny, and to be honest I initially didn't think I'd like it that much. I think you've really taken it to another level by revealing Andy and keeping them alive....fantasticcc.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
Post finale Jim/Pam. That's all I can say without spoiling people. Ohhh I was hoping you'd write something before I got to sleep on this glorious finale night. I just love your style, with the stylistic run-ons and descriptions and guhh store-bought! Lovely work as usual.

Post-finale drabble.
I got so excited because I thought this was a "Jim's Top Ten" update but NOO....haha i kid, it's good too. I love drabbles and "you came back because you want MY job" is just awww...haha. Good work!
Aww, I love this! Your brand of fluff is the prettiest brand of fluff of all the brands of fluff. But I was promised sex dammit! *points to "moderate sexual content" label...* I kid, I kid. I still love this, and you're still among my all-time favorite fluff writers. Good stuff. So in-character and adorable. =D Great work!
awwww, this is so cute...and totally redeems the Jim in my mind. fantastic! and i love the word 'adorkable'! =D
